clarf, on 214x i have never been able to use xorg b/c is crashes in firefox everytime, so I always have to use xvesa and i have always had the issues you mentioned. when i load a new 214X version I boot up in xorg b/c xvesa won't shutdown but don't go on the internet b/c firefox will freeze my computer. so... as mentioned, i boot in xorg shutdown, create a save file, boot back up, switch to xvesa, restart X and then I am good to go. thats my routine but since you asked yes, i have the same issues initially.

Thanks for the report sinc, good to know I´m not the only one, because I was thinking in a hardware issue. Should track down the real problem...

Edit: In shutdown and reboot scripts there`s a "killall X" command.

When I use this command with Xorg puppy exits to terminal but it doesn`t work with Xvesa.

X is a simlynk to Xvesa or Xorg its depends from xorgwizard configuration, I think "killall X" really terminates Xorg or Xvesa executable. Could it be fixed using other Xvesa executable file?, the actual Xvesa file can`t be killed???.Last edited by clarf on Sun 29 Nov 2009, 20:23; edited 1 time in total

Is there vlc 0.86 compatible with the 2.14XX ? I need it because of its subtitles handling. My smallest son is able to navigate avi and subtitles from the hard disk using vlc.
I have 2.14V16 testing in my laptop. And I am thinking to put 2.14 the fourth Puppy for my son.

At finnish school the whole school has linux terminals just installed. Web school-environment is now aveilable with browser.
The computer tearcher visited my son`s class and asked who knows what linux is. My son answered: "I have Puppy Linux as operating system".

Sorry clarf but I'm having problems extracting and installing your latest control panel zip file 214x_tabble_conf_20091128.zip
Tried using fileroller and Xarchiver in 214RC but nothing shows up extracted.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Guys as 2.14X and gtk1 goes, well it can use gtk1 apps, but compiling them has always been a bit of a issue, So I recompiled Gtk1 and it works fine for compiling. These packages contain the all the files including devs and locals, I only removed the docs and man packages. a basic Xmms also is the same since its used by a lot of music apps, dev files should be included.
